We also support education at all levels through children’s programs, high school and college curricula, and adult education, as well as scholarship and academic research through our Scholars Initiative.

Our Culture Museum of the Bible offers a highly challenging and profoundly meaningful work environment where every team member is unified around our unique and global mission. Our museum bridges the ancient and the modern—from a Babylonian brick dating to around 580 BC to the latest technology in our immersive surround‑sound theater. Our team spans a wide range of careers, from seasoned professionals to new graduates and interns.

With new leadership in place, it’s an exciting time to work at the museum as we plan for the future. As the museum grows, we provide employees the opportunity to develop their expertise and careers, along with friendships and fun. We all hope to move our lives from success to significance—and we do that daily at Museum of the Bible.

Our Work We offer a wide variety of career opportunities, ranging from highly specialized curators and scholars to cutting‑edge technology and media experts. You may work with global dignitaries and VIPs in Hospitality, or with curious children in Education. Or you can take your career in all these directions over time.

The museum is located in Southwest DC, on the Federal Center SW Metro stop. Our official headquarters is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (on the Hobby Lobby campus). Most of our positions are in these two locations, but some may be remote.

Museum of the Bible supports the professional development of college and university students by playing an integral role in experiential learning. We offer internships to students from various academic backgrounds, giving them the opportunity to gain hands‑on experience.
